NC 54 West Corridor Study

The NC 54 West Corridor Study is a project to better understand how the NC 54 corridor is utilized and document the unique resources along this historic route. The project is an in-depth review of the 20-mile portion of NC 54 from Carrboro to Graham. For more information about the project as a whole, please visit www.nc54west.com. There are tools on the web site that can be used to provide input on the corridor for those who cannot attend any of the public meetings.
